So I'm rockng back and forth now.... "c'mon chicken! Jump!..... No way man! That's 500 bucks!"

Oh... For the record, if my eyesight was what it was even 4 years ago I'd definitely buy the Kindle 2. I have to lug my readers around with me everywhere now.
Visualize yourself being pushed off the trestle!
Your eyesight is worth 500 bucks.
(No, I'm not affiliated with Amazon - but a week with the DX has been an - pardon the pun - eye opening experience)



You gotta see this in your hand!
